An X-ray calibration facility for use in the 0.2-25-keV region is described. The facility employs several types of specially modified sources and detectors to produce and detect both line and continuum radiation in this energy range. An inexpensive commercial X-ray source has been modified for efficient high-intensity operation as well as production of X-rays up to 25 keV, and multilayer mirrors are used alone or in a double-Bragg geometry to select an energy bandpass. A microcomputer translates and rotates the multilayers to provide an easily selectable monochromatic beam with good resolution over a broad energy range.
